Sir:
In answer to your letter of the 30th Ulto inquiring whether the funds to your credit on the 1st inst. can be used for the payment of claims during the current fiscal year. I have to inform you that paid funds can be so used, the appropriations for bounties not being affected by the laws requiring certain unexpended balances to be covered into the Treasury at the close of each fiscal year.
Very respectfully
Your obedient servant
